AZMEX SPECIAL 19 JAN 2013

Note: computer english, have to wonder if the very recent large
shipments coming across mean that the new "arrangements" have been
successful and a end to interdictions south of AZ?

Leading officials identified as partners of the corruption network of
Guzman Loera are free and hold public office, upscale, exposes the
journalist Anabel Hernandez. Critical policy "ostrich" EPN because it
can cause a major problem of governance

CULIACÁN._A that flight 12 years of legend, or caricature, depending
how you look, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera has increased its power
and neither dreamed nor in its best moments the Colombian kingpin
Pablo Escobar.

And not only that, but the only imprisoned for this case is a
janitor, and after two presidential terms PAN and PRI's return,
witnessed no plan to catch back to Sinaloa Cartel leader criticized
the journalist Anabel Hernandez and writer.

The only one who is in jail for pushing the laundry basket hiding "El
Chapo", this January 19

It was not even arrested. He surrendered and allegedly confessed
helped Sinaloa capo escape and be solely responsible.

Those were the days of Vicente Fox, the first PAN to win the
presidency of Mexico.

The journalist Anabel Hernandez, author of The Lords of Narco, always
doubted this version and remember that the main partners of the
corruption network that wove "El Chapo" are free and hold public
office class. This is the case of Jorge Enrique Tello Peon, then
Undersecretary of Secured by high security prisons.

"We are saying that in 2001 was Secretary of Public Security,
responsible for the custody of the maximum security prisons, and
later, during the administration of (Felipe) Calderon was brand new
advisor to the President against drugs. Was a man directly charged
with "El Chapo" as one of the men who helped him out of prison, "said
Hernandez.

Another who outlined his career is Eduardo Medina Mora, director of
the Center for Investigation and National Security from 2000 to 2005
and head of the PGR in the Calderón. He was then appointed Ambassador
of Mexico to England. Currently with Enrique Peña Nieto's Ambassador
to the United States.

Over the years, various investigative reports have shown that the
overall coordination of Federal Police Intelligence did nothing to
prevent evasion.

That corporation was in charge of surveillance at Puente Grande.
Until the end of 2000, was led by Genaro Garcia Luna, who as a
"prize" amount in the Calderon to Secretary of Public Safety. On
November 14, 2012 received the stimulation and Civil Recognitions,
amid charges for their alleged collusion with drug traffickers.

The case did not remove the dome, but there were just over 70
defendants, most guards and workers. Including the prison director,
Leonardo Beltran Santana, who was imprisoned and he was released in
2010. Of those involved, 59 were convicted and only one remains in
prison, "El Chito", sentenced to 25 years in prison east of Mexico City.

The power of 'El Chapo', in the light of a 'new' PRI

In an exclusive interview with West, Anabel Hernandez questioned,
nearly two months into his presidency, the PRI's Enrique Peña Nieto
has not made a single statement about his strategy against drug
cartels or against "El Chapo", whose power multiplied under the
shelter of the governments of the PAN alternation.

After six years of a "war" against drugs, executions, disappearances,
seizures, clashes and terror, for the author, the only winner was
Guzman Loera, recognized by the U.S. government as the most powerful
criminal of all time , who has spread its tentacles in the United
States and in nations of Central America, South America and Europe.
However, it is not the only player in this struggle, because as part
of the heritage of Calderon, who upon taking office in 2006 found
seven cartels, towards the end of his term crime and fractionated
dispersed hundreds of cells that operate everywhere and do not obey
anyone.

For the journalist, the PAN governments, the Sinaloa Cartel has shown
its power to corrupt institutions. And the worst thing is that it
seems to be the same who will be given the task of fighting crime.

"The only way to limit this criminal organization is a real fight
against corruption, which is what allows" El Chapo "Guzman exists.

It is serious that the government has not announced any Peña plan
deep clean of institutions today, he said, will continue to fight
crime, "said the author of Mexico in Flames. Calderon's Legacy.

The PGR is still infiltration of drug cartels, says, both in the Army
and the Federal Police, and is where it is thought to nourish a new
gendarmerie.

In return PRI, prognosis demolishes hopes of those who trusted the
PRI could negotiate with the bosses, as years ago.

"What we can expect is more violence today because drug trafficking
is not the same he negotiated Ernesto Zedillo. Now is hundreds of
criminal groups that are fighting for control of the streets, of the
colonies and peoples to exercise drug dealing, "he observes.

Hernandez believes that the only alternative is a global strategy of
legalizing drugs, coupled with public policies and preventive health
to diminish the economic power yields to the illegal underworld.
